What have you done with or to your M3 today?

InnerBlueSkies · 01-08-2021, 12:52 PM

Coil Cover arrived, definitely more sturdy/beefier than the original.

Aha, you guys don't have rear fog light coming standard, in any cars?

No sir. It's all there though.

Here is hoping these ones are round... at least their date code is pretty recent, unlike the continental disaster of 2020 I just endured (the new conti tires were made before my worn out PS4S tires...).

🥺

FYI, this company was responsible for de-lamination of their tires that killed people in SUVs years ago.
We have a Ferrari Chat member that recently had that happen where the tire de-laminated right off the rim on the freeway. I'm just putting it out there.

When it come down to tires ....I don't go cheap.

Good Luck.

That's the part that mind boggles me. The behind blockoff plate is actually an LED too, and everything works, once you convert it to a button instead of a blockoff. Zero coding. Nuts.

Wonder if it was legal reasons? I mean Audi/Merc have rear fogs without issues idk why BMW doesn't want to do it here. Hell even the Mini has rear fog options.

The best part is that Audi, Merc, LandRover think US can do it, but we see the asshats with them on crystal clear nights.

Yeah, worst are Tacomas and the like.

I think the rear fogs are DOT regulated. Folks would leave them on and confuse people whether or not they're braking. Could be making that up though.

FBV went on my 09 at 115k km so that got replaced today. Literally the first tank of gas I put in the car after I bought it. I guess this is life now

Jumped on a fantastic deal for a set of 18" staggered Titan TS-5s for track use! Will be swapping to better dual duty tires of course. Summer can't come soon enough!

I had a new transmission installed late last year and man what a difference. How have your upgrades changed your experience and what prompted the change??
